Great poem by our dear friend and close family Julianne about our cousin Logan.

Hi friends 🙂

It’s been the usual forever since I’ve blogged and unfortunately, this will be short and sweet. Tomorrow morning (at precisely o’ dark hundred) my parents and I are headed to my hometown in Florida to celebrate the life of the face you see above. This sweet little boy was the kind of family the government may not recognize, but God sure does. The kind of family you make for yourself. He died last summer at the age of 16 and together with his family and ours we’re going to be reminded that heaven isn’t as far away as we think it is. Have a safe and happy 4th ❤

Heaven to me, seems like a cozy train.People boarding

Cuz…

If I could tell you one thing,
I would tell you that you are loved more than you know.

If we could talk once more,
I would remind you how proud I am of everything you’ve done.
How proud I am of how hard you work,
of how committed and steadfast you are,
of how great it is to have you around,
and how you’re going to grow up to be so much cooler than your big cousin.

If I could see you once more,
I wouldn’t miss your last baseball game.

If we could hang out one more day at the lake,
I would still be in awe of your perfect gainers.

If you could teach me one more thing,
it would be your serene calm under pressure.

If I could hear you now,
your infectious laugh would fill the room.

If I could show you one thing,
it would be a world incomplete without you.

—Rest in Peace Cuz—
